Mission of Teller County Public Health - To prevent disease and to protect and promote the health of Teller County, Colorado citizens by assuring quality preventative health programs and services.

What is Public Health?  It is monitoring the health status of the Teller County citizens and forming community partnerships to identify and solve heath problems.  It is informing, educating and empowering the community to take control of its health.  As we advance into the new millennium, Teller County Public Health looks forward to working with the community to address issues of teen pregnancy, drug and alcohol use, and access to medical care.  Our goal is to develop policies and plans that support individual and community health.
